Steps to fix a leaking faucet

1. Close the water inlet valve

In the sailor or small to remove the fixed handle on the main body of the main body. . Some screws are hidden in the metal metal button button. When the button is opened, you will see the handle screw installed on the top. If necessary, use some penetrating grease like WD-40 to loosen the screws.

2. Remove the handle

Use large carp pliers or an adjustable wrench to remove the packing nut, being careful not to scratch the metal. Unscrew them by turning the spool or shaft in the same direction you turned it when you turned on the faucet. Look at the parts of the faucet.
3. Remove the screw that holds the washer

If necessary, use penetrating lube to loosen the screws. Check the screws and spool and replace with new ones if damaged.
4. Replace the old gasket with an identical new gasket

A new washer that almost exactly matches the old one will generally keep the faucet from dripping. You also notice if the old gasket has a bevel or is flat and replace it with a new one of the same. Gaskets designed only for cold water will expand violently when hot water flows through, blocking the spout and slowing down the flow of hot water. Some gaskets will work in both hot and cold water, but you want to make sure that the gasket you buy for replacement is the exact same one as the original.
5. Install the faucet parts

Fasten the new gasket to the cartridge, and put the parts back together in the faucet. Rotate the spool clockwise. After the spool is in place, reinstall the packing nut. Be careful not to scratch the metal with the wrench.

In daily life, we must use the faucet correctly, and do not turn the faucet too tightly when closing the faucet, so that the life of the faucet can be maintained for 7 to 8 years. I hope the diagram of repairing the faucet leaking will be helpful to you. However, the hot water part of the kitchen faucet changes due to thermal expansion and contraction, which is easy to increase the loss of the faucet. Therefore, the editor suggests that in order to prevent the faucet from leaking, the rubber pads on both sides of the kitchen faucet should be replaced regularly.
